As you are aware, the tax increment plan calls for collection of tax increments as a source of revenue to repay in part, the City interfund loans of $879,000 used to finance part of the initial redevelopment and land acquisition costs. Overall, the plan will generate approximately $1,469,788 of tax increments over a twenty-five year period, running through the year 2021. During that time, $146,979 will be used for administrative expenses of the City and County, and $233,490 will be contributed to an offset penalty withheld by the State in the City's LGA/HACA governmental aid. Overall, the present value of the total tax increment plan results in about $457,519 of net tax increments. Should the redevelopment activities and build out of new homes occur on a three year timeframe, the tax increments will enable the City to escalate repayment of the interfund loans earlier than the original nine year timeframe and accordingly, reduce or reallocate the annual $71,000 HRA tax levy. Additionally, please find information concerning the LGA/HACA penalty. PubliCorp has assisted the City in the preparation of a special bill that has been presented to Representative Wayne Simoneau and Senator Steve Novak. The proposed bill essentially waives the LGA/HACA penalty, resulting in an additional $233,490 of tax increment revenue to the project. This will enable the district to be retired on an earlier schedule, or to expand the redevelopment efforts in the area. Other cities such as Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park have been successful in obtaining the waiver. I have prepared a short summary that has been included in the council packet and would be made available to the public that outlines the details of the project. It should be noted that the plan has been established in a manner that it can be amended to include a scattered site/city- wide program of acquisition and redevelopment "sore thumb" properties throughout the city. The key element to this program involves the development of the housing study discussed earlier by the City Council. The study will serve to document the locations of the problem properties throughout the city's neighborhoods. For the benefit of the public, I will present a short overhead presentation on the details of the tax increment plan. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution, there being ample copies available for the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to Adopt Resolution 95-06, Resolution Establishing the Sheffield Tax Increment Financing District and Approving and Adopting the Tax Increment Financing Plan Related Thereto. COUNCIL ACTION: RESOLUTION NO. 95-06 RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE SHEFFIELD TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT AND APPROVING AND ADOPTING THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN RELATED THERETO BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the "Council") of the city of Columbia Heights, Minnesota (the "City"), as follows: Section 1.

STATUTORY AUTHORITY Within the City of Columbia Heights (the "City") there exist areas where public involvement is necessary to cause development or redevelopment to occur. To this end, the City Council established the Columbia Heights Housing and Redevelopment Authority (the "Authority"). The City faces various existing land use problems that require corrective action by the City or Authority before development by private enterprise becomes financially feasible or desirable. The Authority and City are authorized to establish a tax increment district pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174 to 469.179, inclusive, as amended, to assist in financing public costs related to this proiect. Tax increments are derived only from the increased amount of taxes which are paid on a parcel of property after the construction of a new structure on the parcel. Tax increment districts encompass the parcels from which tax increments are paid for a period of time. Below is the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "Plan") for the Sheffield Tax Increment Financing District ("Sheffield TIF District"). Other relevant information is contained in the Development Plan for the Sheffield Redevelopment and Housing Development Project, originally adopted by the HRA on February 28, 1994. A modification of the Development Plan is contemplated in the Tax Increment Plan. The Sheffield Redevelopment and Housing Development and Project includes the area proposed for the Sheffield TIF District. The Authority or the City reserves the right to approve all or a portion of the property as proposed to be included in the Sheffield TIF District on the date of the first public hearing, January. 23, 1995. B. STATEMENT OF OBIECTIVES The Sheffield TIF District is a redevelopment tax increment district which currently consists of 54 parcels of land and adjacent and internal right-of ways.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY IN SHEFFIELD DISTRICT The Sheffield TIF District encompasses the parcels and all adjacent and interior right-of-ways as identified below: PID #25-30-24.34.0090 1234 46th Avenue NE PID #25-30-24-34-0089 1240 46th Avenue NE PID #25-30-24-34-0086 1260 46th Avenue NE PID #25-30-24-34-0087 1270 46th Avenue NE PID #25-30-24-34-0081 1300 46th Avenue NE PID #25-30-24-34-0082 1306 46th Avenue NE PID #25°30-24-34-0078 1312 46th Avenue NE PID #25-30-24-34-0079 1400 46th Avenue NE PID #25-30-24-34-0097 4531 Fillmore Street PID #25-30-24-34.-0095 4555 Fillmore Street PID #25-30-24-33-0135 4600 Fillmore Street PID #25-30-24-33-0134 4606 Fillmore Street PID #25-30-24-33-0133 4610 Fillmore Street PID #25-30-24-33-0132 4618 Fillmore Street PID #25-30-24-33-0131 4624 Fillmore Street PID #25-30-24-33-0130 4630 Fillmore Street PID #25-30-24-33-0129 4636 Fillmore Street PID #25-30-24-33-0128 4642 Fillmore Street PID #25-30-24-33-0127 4648 Fillmore Street PID #25-30-24-33-0126 4654 Fillmore Street 11°2 The City or Authority may acquire any parcel within the Sheffield TIF District including interior street and railway right-of-ways. G. ESTIMATE OF COSTS The estimate of public costs associated with the Sheffield TIF District is outlined in the following line item budget: Estimate of Public Costs Qualified Costs Land Acquisition Public Improvements Demolition and Relocation Site Preparation Administrative, Legal, Engineering, and Consulting Fees Contingency 500,000 50,000 50,000 Total Estimated Project Costs: 600,000 Any' funds to be expended for off-site improvements outside the boundaries of the Sheffield TIF District, but within the boundaries of the Sheffield Neighborhood Redevelopment and Housing Development Project would be less than 25 percent of total tax increment generated by the Sheffield TIF District, including administrative costs. H. ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF LOAN/BONDED INDEBTEDNESS It is anticipated that the City. or Authority may issue a revenue bond, general obligation bond, or other type of obligation in one or more series to finance costs public costs. The original principal amount of all indebtedness pledged solely from tax increments is not expected to exceed $550,000 with additional increments to be paid to capitalized and other interest determined at the time of issuance. I. SOURCES OF REVENUE The major source of revenue to be used to finance public costs associated with the public development projects in the Sheffield Redevelopment and Housing Development Project is tax increment generated as a result of the taxation of the land and improvements in the Sheffield TIF District. Tax increment financing refers to a funding technique that utilizes increases in valuation and the property taxes attributable to new development to finance, or assist in the financing of public development costs. Additional sources of revenue may include but are not limited to investment income and land sales. This does not preclude the City, the Authority, or the developer from using other funds, at its discretion, to pay such costs. J. ORIGINAL TAX CAPACITY 11-5 the Sheffield TIF District to be established is a redevelopment district pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10 as defined below: "Redevelopment districtn means a type of tax increment financing district consisting of a project, or portions of a project, within which the authority finds by resolution that one of the following conditions, reasonably distributed throughout the district, exists: (1) parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area in the district are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, or other improvements and more than 50 percent of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance; or (2) The property consists of vacant, unused, underused, inappropriately used, or infrequently used railyards, rail storage facilities or excessive or vacated railroad rights-of-way. (b) For purposes of this subdivision, "structurally substandard" shall mean containing defects in structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout and condition of interior partitions, or similar factors, which defects or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or clearance. A building is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the building code applicable to new buildings or could be modified to satisfy the building code at a cost of less than 15 percent of the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage and type on the site. The municipality may find that a building is not disqualified as structurally substandard under the preceding sentence on the basis of reasonably available evidence, such as the size, type, and age of the building, the average cost of plumbing, electrical, or structural repairs or other similar reliable evidence. If the evidence supports a reasonable conclusion that the building is not disqualified as structurally substandard, the municipality may make such a determination without an interior inspection or an independent, expert appraisal of the cost of repair and rehabilitation of the building... (c) For purposes of this subdivision, a parcel is not occupied by buildings, streets, utilities or other improvements until I$ percent of the area of the parcel contains improvements. The 54 parcels have been investigated by City and Authority staff and consultants and have been found to meet all requirements of a redevelopment district. Some parcels are not currently, but were formerly occupied by buildings which the Authority and the City found to be substandard based upon the multiple building code violations associated with each structure. These structures were removed in accordance with the "early acquisition" provision of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.028, Subd. 5. F. PROPERTY TO BE ACQUIRED 11-4 The estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes construction would have occurred without the creation of the Sheffield TIF District. If the construction is a result of tax increment financing, the impact is $0 to other entities. Notwithstanding the fact that the fiscal impact on the other taxing jurisdictions is $0 due to the fact that the construction would not have occurred without the assistance of the city., the following estimated impact of the Sheffield TIF District would be as follows if the "but for" test was not met: ENTITY Anoka County City, of Columbia Heights School District No. 13 IMPACT ON TAX BASE ENTITY'S TOTAL NET TAX CAPACITY CAPTURED TAX CAPACITY % OF CAPTURED TAX CAPACITY TO ENTITY TOTAL 156,029,389 44,240 .03% 9,956,092 44,240 .44% 15,509,210 44,240 .29% IMPACT ON TAX RATES CURRENT CAPTURED POTENTIAL ENTITY TAX RATE TAX CAPACITY TAXES Anoka County, .29746 44,240 13,160 City of Columbia Heights .26802 44,240 11,857 School District No. 13 .77281 44,240 34,189 Other .05890 44,240 2,606 TOTAL 1.39719 61,812 The estimates Iisted above display captured tax capacity when all construction is completed. The tax rates are estimated payable 1995 figures and tax capacities are the payable 1995 figures for all jurisdictions. The Sheffield TIF District will be certified under rates for tax year payable 1995. In addition, the impact on School District No. 13 does not include the effect of state aids for education upon school district funding. N. MODIFICATIONS OF THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT 11-7 Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 469.174, Subdivision 7 and Section 469.177, Subdivision 1, the Original Net Tax Capacity (OTC) for the Sheffield TIF District is based on the value placed on the propert~ by the assessor in 1994 for taxes payable 1995. The tax capacity as certified is estimated to be $34,642. The original tax rate for the Sheffield TIF District will be the tax rate for taxes payable in 1995 estimated for purposes of the Plan to be the estimated 1995 rate of 139.719%. Each year, the Anoka County Auditor will measure the amount of increase or decrease in the total tax capacity of the Sheffield TIF District to calculate the tax increment payable to the City and the Authority. In any year in which there is an increase in total tax capacity in the tax increment financing district above the annual percentage of annual increase, a tax increment will be payable. In any year in which the total tax capacity in the Sheffield TIF District declines below the original tax capacity, no additional valuation will be captured and no tax increment will be payable. The County Auditor shall certify in each year after the date the OTC was certified, the amount the OTC has increased or decreased as a result of: 2. 3. 4. 5. change in tax exempt status of property; reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district; change due to stipulations, adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered abatements; change in the use of the property and classification; or change in state law governing class rates. K. AMOUNT OF CAPTURED TAX CAPACITY Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174 Subdivision 4 and Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subdivision 2, the estimated Captured Net Tax Capacity (CTC) of the Sheffield TIF District, upon completion of all phases of the project, will annually approximate $44,240. The City requests 100 percent of the available increase in tax ca. pacity for repayment of debt and current expenditures. The original tax capacity and project tax capacity are estimated at current market values and class rates to be the total amount when all development is in place and uses of the property have changed. Estimated Project Tax Capacity less Original Tax Capacity Estimated Captured Tax Capacity $78,882 34,642 44,240 L. DURATION OF THE DISTRICT Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 1, the duration of the Sheffield TIF District must be indicated within the Plan. The duration of the Sheffield TIF District will be 25 years from payment of the first tax increment expected in 1997. Thus, it is estimated that the Sheffield TIF District, including any modifications of the Plan for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate at the end of the year 2022. The City and the Authority does reserve the right to decertify the Sheffield TIF District prior to the legally required date. M. ESTIMATED IMPACT ON OTHER TAXING [URISDICTIONS 11-6 Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.176, Subdivision 6, if, after four years from the date of certification of the original tax capacity of the tax increment financing district pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 469. 177, no demolition, rehabilitation or renovation of property, or other site preparation, including improvement of a street adjacent to a parcel but not installation of utility service including sewer or water systems, has been commenced on a parcel located within a tax increment financing district by the authority or by the owner of the parcel in accordance with the tax increment financing plan, no additional tax increment may be taken /:rom that parcel and the original tax capacity of that parcel shall be excluded from the original tax capacity of the tax increment financing district. If the authority or the owner of the parcel subsequently commences demolition, rehabilitation or renovation or other site preparation on that parcel including improvement of a street adiacent to that parcel, in accordance with the tax increment financing plan, the authority shall certify to the county auditor in the annual disclosure report that the activity has commenced. The county, auditor shall certify, the tax capacity thereof as most recently certified by the commissioner of revenue and add it to the original tax capacity of the tax increment financing district. 'The county auditor must enforce the provisions of this subdivision... For purposes of this subdivision, qualified improvements are limited to (1) construction or opening of a new street, (2) relocation of a street, and (3) substantial reconstruction or rebuilding of an existing street. R. LIMITATION ON THE USE OF TAX INCREMENT Pursuant to Minnesota Statues, 469.176, Subd. 4, at ]east 90 percent of the revenues derived from tax increments from a redevelopment district must be used to finance the cost of correcting conditions that allow designation of redevelopment districts under section 469.174, Subdivision 10. These costs include acquiring properties containing structurally substandard buildings or improvements, acquiring adjacent parcels necessary to provide a site of sufficient size to permit development, demolition of structures, clearing of the land and installation of utilities, roads, sidewalks, and parking facilities for the site. The revenues shall be used to finance or otherwise pay public redevelopment and housing development costs pursuant to the HRA Act. These revenues shall not be used to circumvent any levy limit law.

ADMINISTRATION OF DISTRICT AND MAINTENANCE OF THE TAX INCREMENT ACCOUNT Administration of the Sheffield TIF District will be handled by the City Manager or the Executive Director of the Authority. The tax increment received as a result of increases in the tax capacity of the Sheffield TIF District will be maintained in a special account separate from all other municipal accounts and expended only upon sanctioned municipal activities identified in the tax increment financing plan. X. FINANCIAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivisions 6, and 6a; an authority must file an annual disclosure report for all tax increment financing districts with the Office of the State Auditor, the county board, school board, and Department of Revenue. Y. MUNICIPAL APPROVAL Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 3, before or at the time of approval of the tax increment financing plan, the municipality, shall make the following findings and shall set forth in writing the reasons and supporting facts for each determination. Finding that the Sheffield Tax Increment Financing District is a redevelopment district as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subd. 10. The Sheffield TIF District consists of 54 parcels of property. Parcels consisting of more than 70 percent of the area are occupied by buildings and improvements. Buildings have been reviewed by city staff and consultants and more than 50 percent have been found to be structurally substandard. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council and the Authority., would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and, therefore, the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary. Due to the high cost of redevelopment on parcels currently occupied by substandard buildings, the incompatible land uses at close proximity, and the cost of financing the proposed improvements, this project is feasible only through assistance, in part, from tax increment financing. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan conforms to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole. The site is appropriately zoned. The Tax Increment Financing Plan has been reviewed by the Planning Commission and been found to confirm to the general development plan of the city. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.176, Subdivision 2, in any year in which the tax increment exceeds the amount necessary to pay the costs authorized by the tax increment plan, including the amount necessary to cancel any tax levy as provided in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 3, the authority shall use the excess amount to do any of the following: 2. 3. 4. prepay the outstanding bonds; discharge the pledge of tax increment therefore; pay into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of such bond; or return the excess to the County Auditor for redistribution to the respective taxing jurisdictions in proportion to their tax capacity rate. U. REQUIREMENT FOR AGREEMENTS WITH THE DEVELOPER The City or Authority will review any Developer's proposal to determine its conformance with the Development Plan and with applicable municipal ordinances and codes. To facilitate this effort, the following documents may be requested for review and approval: site plan, construction, mechanical, and electrical system drawings, landscaping plan, grading and storm drainage plan, signage system plan, and any other drawings or narrative deemed necessary by the City or Authority to demonstrate the conformance of the development with city plans and ordinances. Land acquired by the City or Authority may be subject to a Contract for Sale upon disposition to the Developer. The general requirements to be imposed upon the developer by the Contract for Sale are: To redevelop the land purchased in accordance with this development plan. To commence and complete the building of improvements on the land within a reasonable period of time as determined by the City or Authority. Not to resell the land before improvements are made without the prior consent of the City or Authority. o Not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, creed or national origin on the sale, lease, transfer or occupancy of the land purchased from the City or Authority. The requirements to be imposed upon the Developer and the City's or Authority's exact participation in the project will be negotiated as part of the Development Agreement between the City or the Authority and the Developer. V. ASSESSMENT AGREEMENTS Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subdivision 8, the City or Authority may enter into an agreement in recordable form with the developer of property within the tax increment financing district which establishes a minimum market value of the land and completed improvements for the duration of the tax increment district. The assessment agreement shall be presented to the county assessor who shall review the plans and specifications for the improvements constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land upon which the improvements are to be constructed and, so long as the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement appear, in the judgment of the assessor, to be a reasonable estimate, the assessor may certify the minimum market value agreement. o Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Sheffield Tax Increment Financing District will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development of the Sheffield Neighborhood Redevelopment and Housing Development by private enterprise. The establishment of the Sheffield Tax Increment Financing District will result in increased availability of safe and decent housing in the City. Z. COUNTY ROAD COSTS Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision la, the county board may require the authority to pay for all or part of the cost of county road improvements if the proposed development to be assisted by tax increment will, in the judgement of the county, substantially increase the use of county roads requiring construction of road improvements or other road costs and if the road improvements are not scheduled within the next five years under a capital improvement plan or other county plan. The improvements outlined in the Plan serve as notice to the county that the development of the retail facility will be assisted with tax increment. In the opinion of the City, the Authority, and consultants, the proposed development will have little or no impact upon county roads. If the county elects to use increments to improve county roads, it must notify the City within thirty days of receipt of this plan. AA. REDUCTION IN STATE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING AID Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 273.1399 for tax increment financing districts for which certification was requested after April 30, 1990, a municipality incurs a reduction in state tax increment financing aid (RISTI FA) applied to the municipality's Local Government Aid (LGA) first and Homestead and Agricultural Aid (HACA) second, in an amount equal to a formula based upon the equalized qualifying captured tax capacity (QCTC) of the tax increment financing district. The total amount of RISTIFA expected for the project amounts to less than 10 to 20 percent of the total tax increment. The City and Authority may also seek special legislation in the 1995 state legislative session to exempt the Sheffield District from Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.1399. Any such legislation will be recorded in this section prior to certification.

THE TAX INCREMENTS GENERATED FROM THE REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY ARE ESSENTIAL AND WILL BE USED IN PART FOR THE REPAYMENT OF SUBSTANTIAL LOCAL FINANCIAL RESOURCES USED TO FUND THE INITIAL STAGES OF THE PROJECT. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES SERVE TO ELIMINATE SUB -STANDARD DWELLINGS WITHIN THE AREA, IMPROVE OWNER OCCUPANCY, BALANCE OWNER TO NON-OWNER RATIO, AND RECAPTURE PLUMMETING PROPERTY VALUES. COMPLIMENTING ACTIVITIES MINIMUM HOUSING CODE ENFORCEMENT AND RENTAL LICENSING STANDARDS HAVE PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN STABILIZING THE HOUSING CONDITIONS WITHIN THE SHEFFIELD NEIGHBORHOOD. THE CITY'S LANDLORD EDUCATION PROGRAM HAS ASSISTED IN DECREASING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON TROUBLESOME APARTMENT UNITS. THE PROGRAM INCLUDES REGULAR LANDLORD MEETINGS, LANDLORD NOTIFICA- TION OF EXCESSIVE POLICE CALLS, PUBLICATION OF A LANDLORD RENTAL HANDBOOK/GUIDE, ETC. COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING AND POLICE PROBLEM SOLVING TECHNIQUES HAVE SERVED TO IMPROVE THE CRIME RATE AND OVERALL CITIZEN SAFETY WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. ORGANIZED CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS HAS LEAD TO A CONSENSUS OF THE OBJECTIVES OUTLINED IN THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN. FUTURE ACTIVITIES FUTURE CDBG FUNDS, HOME PROGRAM FUNDS, AND OTHER STATE/FEDERAL PROGRAMS WILL BE USED TO PROMOTE ADDITIONAL OWNER-OCCUPANCY WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

Wiuson ~(%~J BY NO. REPLACE FENCE ON CEN'I~AL AVENUE / -- DATE: 1/17/95-- DATE: BETWEEN 48TH AND 51ST AVENUES~; I P. Attached is a Resolution requesting Mn/DOT to replace the existing fencing in the median of Cenual Avenue between 48th and 51st Avenues. The fencing is in place to prevent pedestrians, especially school children, from crossing this busy highway except at the signalized intersections that have crosswalks and/or pedestrian bridges. The existing fencing is in need of repair and traps debris which results in a less than desirable image of the City. It has been indicated to staff that if the City requests, Mn/DOT would look favorably on replacing the existing fencing with concrete jersey barriers. These barriers would serve the same purpose, would not Irap as much debris and would have a better appearance. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the Resolution, there being ample copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution No. 95-11B., requesting Mn/DOT to replace the existing median fencing on Central Avenue between 48th and 51st Avenues with an alternative barrier. MAW.'jb 95-036 Attachment COUNCIL ACTION: RESOLUTION NO. 95- 0.~8 REQUESTING Mn/DOT TO REPLACE MEDIAN FENCING ON CENTRAL AVENUE WHEREAS, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) has installed and maintains a fence in the median of Central Avenue (State Trunk Highway 65) from 48th Avenue to 51st Avenue; and WHEREAS, the primary purpose of this fence is to prevent pedestrians, especially school children, from crossing this busy highway at mid-block and direct them to the signalized intersections with crosswalk and/or pedestrian bridges; and WHEREAS, this fencing traps debris and requires a high level of maintenance resulting in additional costs; and WHEREAS, the current condition of the fencing would require replacement in the near future; and WHEREAS, there are alternate types of barriers, such as the concrete jersey barrier, that can perform the same function with less maintenance and that would trap less debris; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Columbia Heights requests that Mn/DOT replace the existing fencing with a suitable alternative barrier when funding and time allows. Dated this day of ,1995 Offered by: Seconded by: Roll Call: CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA By: Joseph SturdevanLMayor Jo-Anne Student, Council Secretary ATTEST: I hereby certify that the foregoing resolution is a tree and correct copy of the resolution presented to and adopted by the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights at a duly authorized meeting thereof held on the 23rd day of January, 1995, as shown by the minutes of said meeting in my possession.

A key component of the voluntary forfeiture and repurchase arrangement between the parties involves execution of releases by any interest holders in the building, whether they be leases, claims, or filings on the property. Accordingly, the whole transaction was done in escrow. It is my understanding that all the releases have been submitted to the County Attorney and his office is currently, reviewing the document prior to submittal of the deed to the Department of Revenue. This step of the process is expected to take a few weeks longer than the earlier deadline of January 31st, 1995. Accordingly, the parties have recommended that the deadline on the escrow agreement and the repurchase agreement be extended to March 31, 1995. This will enable the deed to be submitted to the Department of Revenue, returned to the County, transferred to the HRA, and eventually sold to Zaidan Holdings. If the escrow agreement or repurchase agreement closing of January 31st is not extended, then all parties will have to wait until the May forfeiture deadline. At that time, the parties are still committed to essentially the same transaction. This delay only serves to make the marketing of the building during the interim period more difficult and delay any reimbursements of money required by the original agreement. Inasmuch as this is the case, I would recommend that we proceed with the extension. Additionally, the City Council is requested to pass the attached resolution which is a routine step in the process calling for the classification of tax forfeit property. In essence, this allows the property to be transferred to the HRA for redevelopment purposes. On a related issue, it is my understanding that the University of Minnesota is now contemplating the lease of an additional floor within the building. This lease makes it possible in future years that the tax value and economic vitality of the building will improve the timeframe quicker. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve an amendment to the Tax Delinquency Agreement and the Purchase and Property Tax Agreement, allowing for an extension to March 31, 1995, and that the Mayor and City Manager are authorized to sign the same. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution, there being ample copies available for the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to Approve Resolution 95-09, Requesting Classification of Tax Forfeited Property as Non-Conservation and Approving Deed in Lieu of Tax Forfeiture Under Minnesota Statutes, Section 280.385.

In accordance with the Tax Delinquency Agreement, Anoka County has raised several title objections that must be dealt with before application for the state deed may be submitted to the Department of Revenue. We don't expect any problems in solving the objections within the next week. One of the objections is the existence of the original Contract for Private Redevelopment and covenants in the original quit claim deeds for the property, which must be released. We propose to handle that issue by providing releases, which will be held by the title company along with the deeds for this transaction under the Escrow Agreement. Therefore, the releases will be effective only if the entire transaction closes as contemplated in the Tax Delinquency Agreement. The Tax Delinquency Agreement provided that if the transaction does not close by January 31, 1995, the property will forfeit to the state in May, 1995, at which time the rest of the transaction can be completed. Failure to meet the deadline thus results in a delay of several months and more uncertainty for tenants in the building. By next week, we expect the only remaining step in the transaction will be obtaining the deed from the State. However, as we don't know how long that might take, Zaidan and the Anoka County attorney have agreed to extend the term of the Escrow Agreement to the end of March. The transaction will close as soon as we receive the State deed, which hopefully will be before SJB~2476 CLi6O-70 January 18, 1995 Page 2 that extended date. The extension needs to be approved by the City Council and the HRA board of commissioners, as well as the County board. Enclosed are the following documents needed to complete the transaction and extend the term of the escrow: Application by Governmental Subdivision for Conveyance of Tax-Forfeited Lands. To be signed and notarized by HRA officials: no HRA board action needed (was previously authorized under the Purchase and Property Tax Agreement). Release of Covenants and Restrictions under Quit Claims Deeds and Contract for Private Redevelopment (two copies). To be signed and notarized by HRA officials; no HRA board action needed (was previously authorized under the Purchase and Property Tax Agreement). Amendment to Tax Delinquency Agreement. To be approved by City Council and HRA Board and signed by all appropriate officials. Amendment to Deed Escrow Agreement. To be approved by HRA Board and signed by appropriate officials. Amendment to Assessment Agreement Escrow Agreement. To be approved by HRA Board and signed by appropriate officials. Amendment to Purchase and Property Tax Agreement.

If all these actions are taken, the County can promptly submit the HRA conveyance request to the State Department of Revenue. If for some reason the title issues are not setfled by January. 24 and you are not prepared to reconunend approval of the conveyance to the HRA. the Board should at a minimum approve the amendments to the Tax Delinquency Agreement and the Deed Escrow Agreement, which will allow all parties some additional time to complete the transaction.

A copy of these specifications may be obtained free of charge by anyone who is submitting tentative plans. If the developer should desire to have the grading work handled in the same manner as that which has been outlined above for the ~ituminous stabilization, he may submit a petition to the Council which shall include a complete grading and stabilization of the streets in his development. This petition shall be accompanied by a bond in the amount of one and one-half tines the cost of such work as estimated by the City Engineer. The developer shall be pernitted to construct, petition and furnish the bonds for the'construction of certain streets in a subdivision without including all of the streets at one time; In constructing part of the streets, it viii be necessar~ for the developer to include streets which will make a complete circuit, that is, they shall leave a finished street and-return to a fin- ished street so that there will be no dead ends when the construction has been completed. Building permits shall be issued only for those lots having access to a street which has been constructed or for which construction bonds and agreements are on file in the office of the City Clerk. The City shall accept so-called half width streets when it is impossible for the developer to provide full right-of-vay for such street. This shall only apply in cases of so- called borderline streets which are streets located on the boundar~ line of the property which is being developed. In these cases, the developer shall be required to grade half streets in accordance with the plans furnished by the City Engineer. The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all streets in existing plats as well as to streets in new plats. The Council may, however, exercise their Judgment as to the pro- cedure followed in cases where the Fight-of-way or the street has been in existence for aW length of time. _ It is deemed necessary and consistent with sound City Plan- ning to provide in each ne~proposed plat or subdivision~ areas for future development of park and recreational pur- poses. Each plat shall hereafter ~rovide for a dedication to the municipality an area not less than ten (10I) per cent of the total proposed area to be subdivided, less any acreage devoted to streets. ~75 9.z, O6 (6) (s) (b) (c) ' (d) Such area shall consist of developable and usable land and shall be located so as to serve the present and future needs of the community for recreational or park purposes. The Planning Commission and the Council shall consider the proposed location in relation to existing or con- templated recreational and park sites in other parts of the community and as to the suitability in meeting the requirements of the "City Plan". This requirement may be waived and/or modified by the Council, after recommendation by the Planning Commis- sion, for one of the following reasons: i) The enforcement of this provision would act as an extreme hardship to the property oumer, be- cause of the size of the tract involved, the topography of the land (zoning areas involved) or the owner has already dedicated comparable areas' in other subdivisions in the City. ~ ii) The owner contributes a cash equivalent to the City Treasurer for the '~ark and Recreation Funds" of the City. I cash equivalents.hall be a sum mutually agreed upon representing 10% of the market value of the tract in an underdeveloped state on . the date the preliminary plat is presented to the City. The ten percent (10l) area dedication or ten percent (10l) cash equivalent or such lesser percentage of etther~ay be set by~aJority vote of the Council based upon evidence reasonably establishing that the City will be required to provide~o:e open space, park, o: recreational lands or services asa result of the approval of the plat or sub- division. The Council shall consider the facts and oircum- a~ances of the proposal as related to the needs of the City in aetting~he perce~Uge required. a76 I¢ SZCTIO~ ? ~.&o7 g.~07 (2) Amended 10/11/93 Ord. 1278 LOT &TLIT · part of · plat already approved by the are'~f · plat ~ecorded an·nS ~e ~ records f~ey recorded ~ ~e ~ records ~-o~osed ~lot ~** b ~ respect ~ ~e of ~e foresee, ~e '~c~l b7 m~o-~ ~te my apple ~ Whenever such "lotsplit" is to be made hereunder, such subdiv|sion can be made wlthout further plattlng wlth approval of the Council if the Council shall find that such subdivlsion facilltates and does not hinder the transfer and conveyance of the land; does not hinder the making of assessments and keeping of.record~ connected therewlth; does not result in the creation of any parcel (within or without the subdlvislon) of a slze in area whlch is less than is requie~d for purposes of construction of a building on such parcel under the zoning laws and bui~dlng regulations of the Clty, and does not result i~'; the creation of any parcel which is less than the minimum lot width requlred by the Zonlng Code for,buildlng on the sald parcel.

The 1994 dues schedule amounted to $12,295. I would recommend highly continuing our participation in the North Metro Mayors Association. NMA has been instrumental in bringing to light the issues associated with housing problems in the inter-ring and northern suburbs. The organization was originally organized to address transportation funding disparities in the northern suburbs. Recently, they have made significant progress with the Highway 610 issue. However, of late, they have been very successful in bringing to light the housing problems along with efforts of Representative Myron Orfield. The recent policy guidelines outlined in the Met Council's Metropolitan Blueprint serve as an example of their efforts. This year, NMA proposes a re-work of the fiscal disparities program. The attached information will be introduced to the legislator in the form of a bill calling for a metropolitan-wide tax base sharing program. The program results in nearly a 50Z tax capacity increase for Columbia Heights. For example, this will increase the City's per household tax base of $1,300 in Columbia Heights to approximately $2,000 per household. This is an important alternative considering the likelihood of major cutbacks in the LGA system. The proposed bill is gathering a fair amount of bipartisan support in that nearly 70Z of the population in the metropolitan area benefit from the shift, and the minority of the communities affected are concentrated in the southwest suburbs. The Mayor and City Manager actively participate in the association and serve on its legislative committee. We will keep you apprised of the progress of this bill and others that have a direct impact on our community. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the payment of $11,766 to the North Metro Mayors Association for payment of the City's 1995 membership dues. COUNCIL ACTION: MEMORANDUM To~ From: Date: Subjects: North Metro Mayors Association Members Board of Directors Mayor William Thompson, Chair Legislative Advisory Committee Joseph D. Strauss Executive Director January 4, 1995 NMMA '95 Legislative Plan -- Fiscal Disparities II -- Land Planning Act Metro Council "Regional Blueprint" FISCAL DISPARITIES II -- LAND USE PLANNING The Legislative Advisory Committee has met several times since the Board meeting and has worked on f'malizing a legislative strategy -- as directed by the Board -- to seek the enactment of a law that would change the current fiscal disparities law to a single metro wide tax base structure. Find attached a bill prepared by House Research that will accomplish this objective. Although the bill is not in final form, the committee believes it can be fine tuned and introduced into the legislative process within ten days. The committee voted unanimously to authorize staff to take the necessary steps to have final legislation prepared and introduced as early as possible. The committee also asked staff to make sure all of the issues raised by committee members and House Research be addressed and resolved so that the final bill achieve the intended result. These concerns included dealing with the impact on Hennepin County, the issue of potential greater incentive for some communities to use of tax increment financing to put as much development as possible in a TIF district, and uneven assessment impacts. The draft legislation attached is quite simplistic in terms of amendment language changes -- the impacts are however significant for NMMA members and north metro communities in general -- in terms of the equalizing effects of tax base sharing. The concepts of the bill are set forth on the attched document entitled "Bill Summary." The terminology can be a bit confusing, but the end result is clear. The NMIvIA goal is to "get the resources to the cities that need them the most". This can be achieved through enactment of Fiscal Disparities II legislation. The second objective that NMMA has been focused on is to stop urban sprawl and its negative impacts on the ever growing cost of providing infrastructure and related services, e.g., the cost of K-12, etc. to new emerging growth areas on the fifnge and outside of the urban service area. Thus, the committee strongly supports the need to ultimately link comprehensive "land use planning" legislation to tax base sharing impacts, so that, the impacts of Fiscal Disparities LI can be achieved. NNh-MA will initiate discussions with key legislators on the subject of developing a STATEWIDE LAND PL,4aN%tING ACT. NtVIMA will discuss this initiative with the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities and the League of Minnesota Cities. The LMC would be the more likely municipal organization to sponsor such legislation. If necessary NMMA will also contact city,' officials from greater Minnesota metropolitan areas like Duluth, St. Cloud, Moorhead, Rochester, etc. who are experiencing similar problems of rapidly developing "leap frog" growth. lVlETRO COUNCIL "REGIONAL BLUEPRINT" The committee unanimously supported scheduling a press conference to applaud the efforts of Governor Carlson, the Metro Council and others for their efforts in adopting the CounciPs "Regional Blueprint" policies on housing, and dealing with poverty, concentration and related issues. President Tinldenberg was asked by the committee to prepare a statement on behalf of N1VL¥iA and call a press conference immediately following the Metro Council's announcement of its housing legislation strategies. Area elected officials -- mayors, city council member, legislators, school boards, county commissioners, leadership of the house and senate, and representatives from the Governor's office, along with the media will be invited. The press conference will be held -- at a time, date and location to be announced sometime within the next two to three weeks. In addition to applauding their efforts, a challenge will be put forth requesting them to implement these "Blueprint" principals during the next twelve months. In order to grade performance, a NMMA report card will be designed to monitor progress made towards achieving "Blueprints'" goals, to wit: Where there are specific targeted objectives with dates -- then these will be monitored. Where the application of Blueprint principals needs to be applied the question will be -- did the Council do so in an even handed method throughout the region? With respect to acting as the "spokesperson" for the region on these issues -- the question will be did you do your duty? At the end of 1995, NMMA will issue a report card to the Metro Council and Governor as to the progress made in these areas and will identiO' specifically any performance improvements needed. NMMA has made a significant impact in getting these issues on the regional agenda for discussion and debate. Now we must continue to pursue these matters to conclusion. There is so very much at stake for our communities -- as the unanimous consent of the committee indicates -- we are operating from common ground -- and we need to remain united and determined in our efforts -- even if it takes 5 or more years to reach our objectives. For the communities that do not have representation on the committee -- find enclosed copies of all mater/als distributed to committee members. If you have questions regarding any of the above please call either Joseph Strauss or Sarah Nelson -- 493-5115. SE~.,., BY:MN HOUSE OF REPS : 1- 5-05 ; 14:44 BILL SUMMARY H.F.

COUNCIL ACTION: J'anuary 22,1995 Mayor and City Council Members City of Columbia Heights 590 40th Avenue NE Columbia Heights, MN 55421 Dear Sirs, The Police and Fire Civil Service Commission has been charged by the people of Columbia Heights to establish rules, regulations and procedures as are necessary relating to the appointment, promotion, discharge or suspension of Police and Fire Department personnel.. During my time as Mayor, the high level of professionalism of our Civil Service Commission was made clear to me by chief and officer candidates who had exposure to many such commissions from which to draw comparisons. Though decisions were often difficult, historically the commission members were able to keep politic s out of the process and citizens were confident that ~ht~te~ e, de~iulw~ ~a~ -,~,i~ ed at ~a~ deduced ~,ith the be~t i~t~e~t~ I, am shocked to have learned that the City Council is intending to appoint Mr. Clerkin to fill a law abiding citizen of this co~uni~. In my ~i~on ~. Cler~n is basically a good person who became mixed up with the ~ng people andmade some poor decisions. I ~nher believe he is so~ for whatever involvement he may have had, but his actions have comequences. W~tever you may think of Mr. Clerkin pe~on~ly should be of liule ~levance to the decision at ~d. The person appointed to this commission should be beyond mp~ch in the public's eye lest we destroy the public confidence so critical to t~s commission. It is time our elected leaders muster enough courage to either stand behind the Civil Service process or abandon it instead of trying to mold it into whatever suits their needs at the time. It is time for our leaders to lead and to stand on principles. It is ironic that at a recent meeting of community leaders, Mr. Dave Sallman (Fridley Pubhrc Safety Director) stressed the importance of our elected officials leading by example in the areas of responsibility (accountability), integrity (honesty and sincerity), caring (compassion and kindness), self-control (Self-discipline), respect (regard and consideration), nonviolence (peace and conflict resolution) and citizenship (patriotism). I have had the pleasure of serving this community with three of the sitting council members and I know them to be thoughtful, considerate public servants. Therefore, I have to believe that not enough consideration has been 8ivan to this matter and that more ratiorml heads will prevail during the council meeting J'anuary 23, 1995 and that this poor decision will be made right. Clearly this is another dishonest endeavor in a chain of dishonest endeavors to manipulate a process for personal gain and if a better decision is not made, your complicity in the endeavor will be undeniable. Sincerely, Don Murzyn ;Ir. 1300 Lincoln Terrace NE Columbia Heights, MN 55421 CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: January 23, 1995 AGENDA SECTION: New Business ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT CITY MANAGER NO. 9 POLICE APPRQ~L: ITEM: Purchase of Police Vehicles BY: Leonard M. Olson BY: ~ NO. t~, ]~, DATE: January 9, 1995 DATE: Hennepin County has awarded a contract for 1995 delivery of police vehicles under contract #3309A4. The award is to Superior Ford Inc., Plymouth, Minnesota. The base vehicle price is $16,520.00, and I am recommending the following deductions after conferring with the City's head mechanic. Deduct engine block heater @ $23.00/each Deduct RFI package @ $55.00/each Base price each vehicle $16,520.00 minus 23.00 minus 55.00 TOTAL $16,442.00 In addition, one parts manual for $55.00 and one shop manual for $95.00.

Casey DATE: January 13, 1995 CITY MANAGER APPROVAL BY: {'il~ ~ Attached is the Second Annual Celebrate Heights Pride proposal that has been presented and approved at the Columbia Heights Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors meeting on January 13, 1995 and will also be presented to the Independent School District #13 School Board. Through this collaboration and cooperation of the four entities and hundreds of volunteers, the Columbia Heights community as a whole will benefit from this giving and receiving of service. As the committee meets there may be slight alterations to this proposal but the basic concepts will remain intact. RECONSqENDED MOTION: The City of Columbia Heights City Council moves to approve the joint participation of Celebrate Heights Pride with the Columbia Heights Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and Independent School District #13 School Board on May 15-20, 1995 and all activities included therein. COUNCIL ACTION: CELEBRATE HEIGHTS PRIDE A Proposal Presented to: * Columbia Heights Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors * City of Columbia Heights City Council * Independent School District #13 School Board History In September of 1983, the Downtown Business Fair was held to promote the redevelopment of the Downtown Development District located at 40th and Central Avenues and to encourage similar development and commercial refurbishing throughout areas in the City. Many local businesses and service organizations participated in the Business Fair with the sponsorship eventually being exclusively channeled through the Chamber of Commerce. The Business Fair aspect of the one-day event gradually changed to an entertainment and commercial opportunity for residents and visitors. The name was changed to "Bootstrap Days" and other events and attractions were added to the day. In 1993, the Chamber recognized the affair was losing its effectiveness and participation was declining. In the spring of 1994, through the direction of representatives of the Chamber, City staff, and local business persons, "Celebrate Heights Pride - A Month of Caring" was developed. With the sponsorship of the Columbia Heights Chamber of Commerce, the City of Columbia Heights, and Independent School District #13, the month long series of events took place. Some of the activities included an Arbor Day observance, catch basin stenciling, citywide clean-up, city service departments open houses, art displays, art and craft fair, flower plantings and landscaping at various sites throughout the City, entertainment, athletic competitions, and citywide picnic, to mention a few. Proposal In 1995, it is proposed that the Second Annual Celebrate Heights Pride celebration be held during the week of May 15-20. Celebrate Heights Pride's mission is to enable youth, adults, and seniors to access opportunities through the celebration to show pride in their community. Through the leadership of the Columbia Heights Chamber of Commerce, City of Columbia Heights, and Independent School District #13 as well as hundreds of volunteers, our community as a whole will benefit from this giving and receiving of service. Celebrate Heights Pride Page Two Suggested Recommended Motions CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The Columbia Heights Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors moves to approve the sponsorship of Celebrate Heights Pride with the City of Columbia Heights City Council, and Independent School District #13 School Board on May 15-20, 1995 and all activities included therein. CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS The City of Columbia Heights City Council moves to approve the sponsorship of Celebrate Heights Pride with the Columbia Heights Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, and Independent School District #13 School Board on May 15-20, 1995 and all activities included therein. INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT #13 The School Board of Independent School District #13 moves to approve the sponsorship of Celebrate Heights Pride with the Columbia Heights Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, and the City of Columbia Heights City Council on May 15-20, 1995 and all activities included therein. If the Chamber, City, County, and School District adopts the motion to sponsor "Celebrate Heights Pride", a tentative framework of events based on last year's event is found on the following page. Following the tentative schedule of events list is a descriptive narrative for each event and finally, a listing of committee positions needed. It should be pointed out that the activities are tentative, and if or when the steering committee meets, there may be some changes. Celebrate Heights Pride Page Three Schedule of Events (Tentative) Monday, May 15 - Thursday May 18: T.B.A. Friday, May 19: Chamber of Commerce's Town Dinner meeting at Murzyn Hall Saturday, May 20: Community Housing Fair Citywide Clean-Up Flower Plantings - Beautification Project City Picnic Handcrafted Art & Craft Fair Bike Rodeo Challenge Cup City Services on Display Baseball/Softball Clinic & Games Celebrate Heights Pride Page Four Town Dinner Meeting - Murzyn Hall For the past years, the Columbia Heights Chamber of Commerce sponsored the Annual Town Dinner meeting held in the spring at Jax Restaurant in N.E. Minneapolis. The format has been a social hour, dinner, awards, and entertainment for about $25.00 per person. In 1995, it is proposed to move the Town Dinner meeting to John P. Murzyn Hall on Friday, May 19, 1995, with the intent of having an actual town meeting. By lowering the $25.00 per person cost and moving the event to Columbia Heights, we believe the Town Dinner meeting will be more accessible to the whole Columbia Heights community. The schedule could be as follows: Social Hour Presentations - "State of the City" "State of the School District" "State of the County" "State of the Chamber" Dinner Dancing / Entertainment If businesses wished, small tables/display booths could be set up around the hall with their information/handouts. Community Housing Fair - Murzyn Hall, 10:00-4:00 Set up in an exhibition type format, the main hall would have approximately 30 booths arranged to display information on housing related issues, i.e. remodelers, landscapers, financial institutions, realtors, and various services, etc. In one of the rooms, a lecture type format that dealt with a variety of housing issues would be conducted in 1/2 hours increments, i.e. how to remodel/landscape, safety in the home, etc. The fair would be free to the public, and each exhibitor would be charged a small fee to cover the cost of the booth rental. Citywide Clean-up - Citywide Volunteers would be organized to help remove unwanted heavy items to the curb for pickup. Volunteers would also be recruited to help clean up the parks, ponds, roadways, and city streets. Flower Planting - Beautification Projects - Citywide Through the leadership of the Beautification Committee, several predetermined sites will have flowers planted. Celebrate Heights Pride Page Five City Picnic - Jefferson Building, Huset Park Citizens will be encouraged to bring their own picnic lunch, and we will supply free pop and ice cream.

DATE: Jan 19, 1995 DATE: The Fire Department is requesting authorization to seek bids for Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) units. Most of our units are more than fifteen years old and may not provide reliable service for the firefighters. Continental Safety Equipment completed the OSHA-required service check of our units in December 1994 and has recommended that we replace the units as soon as possible. They reported that the regulators are considered "borderline". The units are outdated and the parts needed to properly overhaul the alarms are no longer being produced. Our masks also have to be replaced. We had planned to replace the units in 1997. Continental Safety has estimated the cost of repair/update to be approximately $13,391.

CITY COUNCIL LETYER Meeting of: 1/23/95 AGENDA SECTION: NEW BUSINESS ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER NO. 9 PUBLIC WORKS NO. LABELLE POND PROJECT #9312 ~ DATE: 1/19/95 DATE: ¢. On December 27, 1994, City Council authorized staff to seek bids to dredge approximately 2.7 acres of LaBelle Pond. Bid packages went out to 10 contractors for the January 19, 1995 bid opening. The project is to remove accumulated sediment from selected areas of the pond in order to improve overall water quality. Existing wildlife habitat areas will not be disturbed. The successful contractor will be responsible for developing a work plan, removing the sediment and restoring staging areas. It is expected that the work will take 60 days. Only one bid was received from Dave Perkins Contracting Inc. of Ramsey, Minnesota, in the amount of $149,066.00. Staff and the HNTB Consultant feel that the reason for the low response and the high price is due to this winter's warm weather. This has resulted in an ice thickness of 8-10" which does not support heavy equipment for the dredging operation. Staff also feels that the project can be done for approximately half the cost if there were proper conditions. Staff is formulating a plan of lowering the pond level next fall which would allow the use of heavy equipment. Staff does not recommend the award of the contract at this time because the bid is far outside the budgeted funding. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to award the contract for Restoration of LaBelle Pond Project #9312 to Dave Perkins Contracting, Inc. of Ramsey, Minnesota, the low, qualified responsible bidder, in the amount of $149,066.00; and, furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same with payments to come from Fund 412-59008-5120. ALTERNATE RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to reject the bid as it falls outside the budgeted funding for this project. MAW:jb 95-034 COUNCIL ACTION: January20,1995 Mark Winson, P.E. Director of Public Works City of Columbia Heights 63 7 3 gth .avenue NE Columbia Heights, Minnesota 5542 LaBell¢ Pond Restoration 1995 Bid Results Dear Mr. Winson: The pond dredging project was bid on January I9, I995. We received one bid from Perkins Construction for $I49,066. This amount exceeds the budget tbr the project. It should be noted that this project was changed from last years hydraulic removal to dredging at the request of several contractors to make the pricing more competitive. In response to our conver.qation yesterday, we have contacted a number of planholders to develop an understanding of the perceived problems with this project, Their responses identified three areas that caused concerns, which we have summarized as follows: The unusually mild winter has greatly reduced the ice thickness on LaBelle Pond. The contractors are concerned that they would not be able to safely operate their equipment on the ice. Several contractor~ were hesitant to bid on the project without having the DNR. permit. The dredging permit is currently being reviewed by the MN BN'R and we expect to receive ~he permit by the end of the month. The inability of the City to provide a disposal area for the dredged material. The contractors felt that hauling costs would drive the project costs beyond the City budget. The permit review process, which happened after the EAW review, has taken months longer than was orlghmlly anticipated. We feel that the permit review in conjunction with the thin ice conditions encountered this year will necessitate that the dredging be pushed back until the winter of 1995 - 1996. Mark Winson January 20, 1995 Page 2 The delay of the project until next winter will allow us to address the contractors concerns. The Public Works Superintendent offered a suggestion that if the pond were drained after tke fall rains, the thin ice problem could be avoided next winter. The permits for dredging and spoil disposal will be in hand. We will work with the City to develop a plan for sediment disposal. We propose to continue to work with th= City o£ Columbiu Heights to bring this project to a .~uccessfifl completion. We will be preparing a plan of action to drain the pond and to develop sediment disposal sites. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 920 - 4666 with any questions you may have in this matter, Sinccr¢Iy HOWARD ,,NEEDLES TAaMMEN & BERGENDOFF Tim Murphy ~,/ Project Engineer TPM/tpm TO CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 23, 1995 *Fi'gned Waiver From Accompanied Application APPROVED BY BUILDING INSP.

As the report reflects, ridership decreased significantly in 1994 over 1993. This is attributable to Fridley no longer being a part of the Shared Ride service area. Likewise, total expenses decreased significantly ($56,523.39 in 1994 compared to $170,104.33 in 1993). As a result, the unfunded local share for 1994 will be less than $500. 2. COMMUNICATIONS OF INTEREST NSP Increase: Attached is a letter indicating as of January, 1995, the City's electric accounts will increase by $.95 a month. League of Minnesota Cities Policies and Practices: Attached are the 1995 League Policies and Priorities. The Action Agenda was approved by the League's Board of Directors and will be the highest priority of 1995. 3. UPDATE ON CITY HALL The Building Inspections Department has relocated to the HRA offices as of January 19, 1995. The Public Works Department was instrumental in seeing that the move went smoothly. Carpeting Bid Specifications were sent to twenty-one companies and notice was published in the FOCUS. The bid opening will be February 7. Award of bid will be on the February 13th Council agenda. Staff is discussing the feasibility of the use of the Anoka County Board table for the Council Chambers. It appears it will be extremely labor intensive to disassemble and reassemble, as it was built in place. Alternatives are being explored, including building a table on site. City staff will be presenting a complete package of examples, options, alternatives, and a budget for the City Council Chambers improvements at the February 6th, 1995, work session. At that meeting, proposed layouts for the Council Chambers, examples of furniture, ceiling/acoustical alternatives, carpeting samples will be available for your review. 4. SHEFFIELD LOT PROPOSAL Michael Fusco has offered to sell a 40' x 125' lot in Sheffield to the City. Although the lot has a tax value of $17,400, Mr. Fusco is willing to dispose of the property for substantially less. I have reviewed the situation, and recommend that the City not pursue the purchase. 5. COUNTY ROAD 104 TURNBACK Attached please find a letter sent to affected residents on County Road 104. The letter advises them that the County will be considering turning back the property to the City on January 24, 1995, at 9:30 A.M. The basis for the County's decision is spelled out in statute, and the fact that the City can redesignate the road under Municipal State Aid provisions. 6. CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING Be advised that the Charter Commission was unable to meet on Thursday, January 19th, as a quorum of members failed to appear. I have requested that the Charter Commission secretary request that the Chairman schedule a new date for a meeting. It may be critical for the commission to meet again at some time in February to finalize the proposal on the election date changes. In essence, this ordinance must be in place in June. To do so, it will require an additional sixty day process on the part of the City Council in order for any Charter change to be effective. 7. CHARTER COMMISSION MEMBERSHIP It is my understanding that the Judicial District Chief Judge has appointed Keith Roberts and Theresia Synowczynski to the Charter Commission. It appears that the formal notifications and oaths of office are being forwarded to the individuals and to the Charter recording secretary for execution. The Charter Commission is currently reviewing the makeup of the commission, and the status of the various terms. The Charter Commission membership has dropped to nine members, but may have upwards to fifteen total. Also, new members can serve longer than eight consecutive years. 8. BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE Be advised that Mark Winson met with the Beautification Committee to discuss upcoming Public Works projects. Attached please find information from Mark concerning his meeting with the Beautification Committee. Additionally, I discussed with the Beautification Chairman, Michelle Murzyn, the possible liaison/coordination effort between City staff and Beautification Committee. Jean Kuehn, who is a Master Gardener, will serve as liaison to the group. Jean comes highly qualified to this job, as she is actually a "master gardener". The group is going to meet in early February to finalize their priorities for 1995 and will be submitting a budget and list of projects to the Council. 9. CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION As per the City Council's request, I met with the Civil Service Commission concerning their thoughts on the pros and cons of the Civil Service process and police organizational options. Commissioners Herringer and Moore will be preparing a written response to the City Council's inquiry within the next two weeks. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. cb 95/4 ,.q 8,,,'" ,~. 8 8 8 8 8 ~ 8 ,~"' 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 January 12th, 1995 City of Columbia Heights Pat Hen~es-City Manager 590 40th Avenue NE Minneapolis, MN 55421 Northem States Power Company Brooklyn Center Area 4501 68th Avenue North Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55429-1798 Telephone (612) 569-0200 Dear Pat: Last year the state legislature passed a law requiring Northern States Power Company to provide a fifty percent electric rate discount for customers receiving Low - Income Home Energy Assistance Program funds. To help pay for the new program the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) ordered NSP to eliminate a conservation rate-break for residential Iow use customers and to increase customer charges by $.95 a month for commercial and industrial customers. Please accept this letter as notification that beginning in January of 1995 all city commercial electric accounts will have the new $.95 charge applied. If you need additional information on this new charge, please contact me at 569-0231. Sincerely, John R. Theis Community Services/Principle Manager NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY Brooklyn Center Area Office League of Minnesota Cities 3490 Lexington Avenue North St. Paul, MN 55126-8044 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: RE: City Managers or Clerks Jim Miller~ December 15, 1994 1995 League of Minnesota Cities Policies and Priorities I am pleased to forward the 1995 League policies and priorities. I believe that the concise and brief format for these policies represents a significant step forward in communicating our problems and concerns with policy makers. I want to commend every city official for your involvement, assistance and interest in the League's new policy develoment process. With the help of many city officials, we were able to focus on the most pressing problems facing cities and to develop creative solutions to address those problems. At their monthly meeting in December, the League's Board of Directors approved the enclosed Action Agenda for the League. This list is almost identical to the agenda suggested by the membership at the Policy Adoption Conference. The exception is the addition of the personnel policy (SD-2). The Action Agenda policies will be the League's highest priority for the upcoming year. Where appropriate, the League staff will draft and have legislation introduced to further these efforts. The revised policy process initiated by the League's Legislative Advisory Committee was also a significant step forward. We had tremendous participation from city officials throughout the state. A chronology of the new policy development process is outlined on page vi of the booklet. If you are not currently a member of one of the League's policy committees or task forces, and you would like to get involved, please contact any of the Intergovernmental Relations staff or me. Don't be surprised if we ask you to contact your legislators on issues of importance. The success of the League is ultimately dependant on the involvement of our members, not only in the policy development process, but in our lobbying activities. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER (612) 490-5600 1-800-925-1122 plus your city code TDD (612) 490-9038 Fax (612) 490-0072 -I League of Minnesota Cities 3490 Lexington Avenue North St. Paul, MN 55126-8044 1995 ACTION AGENDA The League of Minnesota Cities represents 811 of Minnesota's 856 cities as well as 10 urban towns and 24 special districts. All sizes of communities are represented among the League's members (the largest n .onmember city has a population of 149) and each region of the state is represented. One of the most important purposes of the League of Minnesota Cities is to serve as a vehicle for cities to define common problems and develop policies and proposals to solve those problems. The League has identified the following issues as priorities for action during the 1995 legislative session. Specific League objectives are listed in bulleted text. Unfunded mandates · Oppose additional unfunded mandates. · Identify specific unfunded mandates and modify or repeal those laws. · Pass legislation authorizing cities to not comply with unfunded mandates. Local Government Aid Preserve the use of the implicit price deflator index to at least maintain LGA at a constant, inflation-adjusted level. Pass legislation which provides additional state resources for further increases in LGA to reverse the rapid growth in the reliance on the property tax. Homestead Agricultural Credit Aid Growth · Pass legislation reinstating the HACA household growth adjustment factor, and an inflationary adjustment factor similar to the LGA index.

The process began with a member survey of priority issues facing city officials. The process will not end with the Policy Adoption Conference. The committees will schedule additional meetings during the upcoming legislative session to discuss additional issues, develop alternative solutions, and to discuss strategies to implement the League's policies. Listed below is a brief chronology of the major events in the policy development process. At each step, members have the opportunity to participate in the development process. Late May- The League solicits members for ideas and problems. A survey at the Annual Early June Conference allows members to formally suggest topics. June The League President accepts applications for committees and appoints policy committee members. Thc policy committees are: Improving Community Life Improving Service Delivery Improving Local Economies Improving Fiscal Futures July Committees meet to discuss issues raised in member survey. Committees may also form task forces to more thoroughly study specific issues. Task forces can include noncity members with a knowledge of the focus issue. August through September Committees and task forces meet to discuss issues and problems, accept testimony, and develop policy statements. October Legislative Committee meets to finalize policies. The Legislative Committee is comprised of the League~s Board of Directors and the chairs of the four League policy committees. November Policy Adoption Conference. Members have the opportunity to discuss the draft policies, propose changes, and suggest additional policies for membership consideration. December The Board adopts the Legislative Action Plan. based on input from the Policy Adoption Conference. January through June Legislative Session. During the session, the policy committees and task forces will continue to meet on issues and strategies. Members can assist the League's legislative efforts by volunteering to contact legislators on the variety of issues of interest to our cities. vi League of Minnesota Cities STATEMENT OF INTENT There are many problems which limit the effectiveness of city government to improve community life, improve the fiscal future and service delivery of city government, and to improve the local economy. What follows are statements of the problems facing cities and the solutions proposed to help resolve these problems. These statements of problems and proposed solutions form the policy of the League of Minnesota Cities. Additional and alternative solutions to these problems may be proposed after the Policy Adoption Conference and the members of the League authorize its Board of Directors to consider and support additional or alternative solutions, if necessary, to resolve the problems identified in this policy statement. ~s vii IMPROVING COMMUNITY LIFE CL-1. Liveable Communities To the greatest extent possible, legisla- tion affecting communities at the state and federal level should enhance, not diminish, the ability of citizens, busi- nesses, and local governments to work together in partnership to make every community "liveable." PROBLEM: Cities in Minnesota are at various stages in meeting the goal of being "liveable communities." SOLUTION: The definition of a "liveable community" below will be used to evaluate proposed legislation to determine whether or not it ad- vances the goal of enabling all Min- nesota cities to become liveable com- munities. It should also be used by cities to evaluate their progress to- ward the goal of becoming liveable communities. A LIVEABLE COMMUNITY IS: WHERE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES share a core of common values including valuing diversity, respect for each other, and good citizenship feel: * safe * a sense of belonging * welcome · engage in life-long learning activities that: * prepare them for responsible citizenship * enhance the enjoyment of life * prepare them for changing job markets · participate in the decision-making process of community leaders · celebrate community · want to make their home have access to: * good paying jobs * adequate and affordable housing * choice of efficient transportation systems including transit, pedestrians, and bicycles * gathering places * desired information * choice of cultural and recreational activities * affordable goods and services, including health care · are involved in the nurturing of children · care about their homes, community, and the environment · get to know each other · have the benefit of strong family support and nurturing adults 1995 City Policies 1 WHERE LOCAL GOVERNMENT · is willing to respond to the needs of its citizens · is actively supported by enthusiastic volunteers · is open and user friendly · encourages and practices cooperation and collaboration · provides and maintains an adequate infrastructure to meet local needs 2 League of Minnesota Cities General Policy Statement One of the most important purposes of the League of Minnesota Cities is to serve as a vehicle for cities to define common problems and develop policies and proposals to solve those problems. The League of Minnesota Cities represents 811 of Minnesota's 856 cities as well as 10 urban towns and 24 special districts. All sizes of communities are represented among the League's members (the largest nonmember city has a population of 149) and each region of the state is represented. The policies that follow are directed at specific city issues. Two principles guide the development of all League policies. There is a need for a governmental system which allows flexibility and authority for cities to meet challenges of governing and providing citizens with services while at the same time protecting cities from unfunded or under funded mandates, liability or other financial risk, and restrictions on local control; and The financial and technical requirements for governing and providing services necessitate a continuing and strengthened partnership with federal, state, and local governments. This partnership, particularly in the areas of finance, development, housing, environment, and transportation, is critical for the successful operation of Minnesota's cities and the well- being of city residents. ~y Policies 3 IMPROVING SERVICE DELIVERY SD-1. Unfunded Mandates Problem: The cost of federal and state mandated programs substitute the judgment of Congress and the President and the Legislature and the Governor for local budget priorities. These mandates force cities to reduce funding for other basic services or to increase taxes and service charges. Solutions: No additional mandates should be enacted unless the funding for the mandate is provided by the level of government imposing it or a permanent stable revenue source is established. Cities should not be forced to comply with unfunded mandates. Cities should be given the greatest flexibility possible in implementing mandates to ensure that their cost is minimized. SD-2. Personnel Problem: A wide variety of state and federal laws have increased the cost of providing city service to residents by requiring city governments to provide certain levels of compensation, benefits, or working conditions and limiting city governments' ability to effectively manage their personnel resources. Solutions: The federal and state governments should not continue to pass laws regulating the private and public sector workplace without a full understanding of the consequences of each proposal and sufficient safeguards for city taxpayers. State and federal policymakers should enact reforms which reduce city governments' personnel costs and/or increase their ability to deliver services efficiently. Specifically: Eliminate or modify state mandates such as veterans' preference and civil service which restrict the ability of local governments to effectively discipline public employees. Specifically, no public employee should be entitled to more than one review of a disciplinary action, and no employee should receive full pay for more than 14 days pending their decision to appeal a local government's proposed disciplinary action. Modify public sector bargaining laws to restrain arbitration awards which exceed other internal class comparisons or outside cost of living limitations. Revise public employee pension laws to facilitate consolidation of local pension plans and the 4 League of Minnesota Cities transition to more attractive and fiscally sound pension programs such as def'med contribution plans. Fully consider public employers' financial and operational impacts in any workplace legislation such as health reform, public safety, and OSHA. SD-3. Environmental Protection Problem: State and federal environmental programs are improperly designed to meet their stated goals, and impose an undue burden on local governments because of a lack of federal or state financial assistance. The refusal to finance these programs by the governments which pass them has eliminated an essential restraining feature in program design and implementation. Specific problems include: Fragmented program adoption and implementation does not ensure prioritization of environmental matters or the establishment of comprehensive environmental protection strategies. "One size fits all" implementation programs force remedial efforts by local governments for nonexistent environmental problems. Permit fees and other cost transfer elements of federal and state programs do not provide an incentive for environmental agency efficiency, policy prioritization, or risk assessment. Solutions: Cities should not be required to comply with any unfunded mandate. Permit fees should be limited to fifty percent of the agency's direct operating costs. A comprehensive effort to consolidate, reorganize, and manage state and federal environmental programs should be required. SD-4. Absentee Voting Problem: Absentee voting is overly complicated and results in rejection of significant numbers of ballots, while adding to local administrative responsibilities. Solution: Absentee voting procedures can be streamlined and made more "user friendly." Adopting reforms proposed in the 1993-94 legislative session will increase the number of ballots returned as well as the number that are accepted. In addition, reforms will decrease current local administrative burdens and costs. ~s 5 SD-5. Presidential Primary Voter Designation Problem: Lack of voter interest and anger over political party designation requirements (to receive a ballot) have resulted in poor turn-out for the presidential primary as well as increased local election costs. Solution: The presidential primary is a political activity in which voters indicate preferences for presidential candidates of major political parties. Cities are not the appropriate level of government to take responsibility for administering the balloting process. In 1996, cities prefer to see the state conduct the primary using a statewide mailed ballot for which any local administrative costs will be fully compensated. In addition, the state should redesign the precinct voter rosters indicating which political party ballot voters select to safeguard voter privacy and ensure accurate recording of voter ballot selection. Finally, the state should fully fund the presidential primary and, if necessary, charge major political parties whose candidates appear on the ballot for an appropriate share of expenses incurred. SD-6. Election Judges Problem: Requirements for local election judge political party balance (at polling locations) creates barriers to the effective recruitment of interested persons to serve at polling places. Restrictions on parents-children-spouses serving at the same location do likewise. Solution: The legislature should institute a nonpartisan method for recruiting those interested in serving as election judges. SD-7. Local Government Cooperation and Collaboration Problems: Some of the most difficult barriers to intergovernmental cooperation result from geography. demographics, and political traditions rather than financial considerations. In the past, fiscal and political pressures have resulted in shifting responsibility for the operation and costs of programs to cities without funding. State policymakers have also often failed to give cities credit for their extensive involvement in cooperative agreements with other units of local government to change responsibilities for funding and delivering services. Solutions: The federal, state, and county governments should: Communicate and establish a process of negotiation before shifting responsibility for delivering services from one level of government to another or seeking to reduce service duplication. · Transfer authority for use of revenues dedicated to such 6 League of Milmesota Cities programs or provide appropriate and adequate alternatives. Strive to improve services, reduce costs, and encourage innovations in the delivery of services. Acknowledge that services delivered through cooperative agreements do not always result in providing the public with reduced costs. Cities should: Initiate discussions with state and other local units of government to identify burdens for taxpayers resulting from overlapping services as well as opportunities for cooperation and collaboration. Document and publicize efficient and effective service delivery, including use of mutual aid agreements and other intergovernmental collaboration. Explore methods for improving services, reducing costs, and encouraging innovative approaches to overcome barriers to intergovernmental cooperation. The League should: Encourage cities and other units of local government to explore opportunities to negotiate which unit should be responsible to fund and deliver services or collaborate on service delivery when appropriate. Provide technical and educational resources and opportunities for cities to overcome barriers to reaching cooperative agreements and/or consolidation with other local units of government. IMPROVING LOCAL ECONOMIES LE-1. Workers' Compensation Problem: Minnesota's workers' compensation has been identified by business advocates as one of the primary impediments to business expansion and job creation in our state. Cities and their officials are concerned about the system's impact on economic development and on the direct cost to local government taxpayers of providing benefits to employees. Solutions: In cases where Minnesota is less competitive than neighboring states with regard to workers' compensation costs, the Legislature should act to adjust benefits, regulate insurance companies, or take any necessary action to put us in line with neighboring states. 1 --9-'9' ~C~y Policies 7 Minnesota's system can be made more efficient and less costly: the Legislature should act regard]ess of our comparative standing. The State Department of Trade and Economic Development should develop a plan to assist local development officials in addressing the workers' compensation concerns of business people considering location, relocation, and expansion decisions. the city's boundaries regardless of the existence of county or township controls, in order to ensure conformance with city facilities and services. state statutes regulating annexation should make it easier for cities to annex developed or developing laud within unincorporated areas which the annexing city has designated as a growth area. LE-2. Growth Management and Annexation Problem: Unplmmed urban growth outside of city boundaries has a negative environmental, fiscal, and governmental impact for cities, counties, and state governments. Solution: Further urban growth outside city boundaries should be restricted and the annexation of urban land to cities should be facilitated. Specifically, the League recommends the following: the preservation of natural resource areas and prime agricultural land should be encouraged and the development of such land outside designated growth areas to be served by a city should be discouraged. cities should be given broader authority to extend their zoning, subdivision, and other land use controls up to two miles outside LE-3. Metropolitan Leapfrog Development Problem: Urban growth is also occurring outside the metropolitan governance area in a manner which might have a significant impact on metropolitan systems, somewhat encouraged perhaps by growth management controls adopted within the metropolitan area. Solution: The legislature should study the impact of development moving outside the seven county metropolitan area as a reaction to Metropolitan Council growth management programs and require land use controls which reduce leapfrog development. LE-4. State-wide Planning Policy Problem: A renewed concern about urban development has resulted in a 8 League of Minnesota Cities necessary review of the existing framework for restricting or guiding development through local plans and controls adopted by local governments, and has led some to suggest that the answer lies in the adoption of a comprehensive state-wide planning process. Solutions: The League believes that the existing framework for restricting or guiding development primarily through local plans and controls adopted by local governments should not be substantially modified, however: the state should provide additional f'mancial and technical assistance to local governments for voluntary, cooperative planning and growth management issues. the state should clearly establish the public purposes served by existing state-wide controls such as shoreland zoning and wetlands conservation and fully defend and hold harmless any local government sued for a "taking" as a result of executing state land use policies. LE-5. State Development Strategy Problem: The state has not clearly acknowledged the valuable role cities play in developing and maintaining the economic health of the state and the financial risks cities take in these efforts. Solution: A state development strategy should be established by the Legislature and the Governor to promote job creation, redevelopment and prevention of blight and decay, pollution clean up, and provision of adequate housing opportunities. In a partnership between the state and cities, cities should be given the authority to locally implement the state's development policy. LE-6. City Cooperation With Counties and Schools in Economic Development Problem: Counties and schools frequently want to play a greater role in cities' development decisions. Solution: Cities should develop an economic development strategy in consultation with counties and schools. The "review and comment" requirements of the current tax increment financing law should continue to be used to educate and involve other local governments and local legislators about proposed development projects. Counties and school boards should respond to overtures for evaluation and participation, and should take advantage of all available informational opportunities. Because of the effect of decisions by counties and schools on city development activities, these boards should also confer with cities regarding their plans for capital and tax levy decisions. ~es 9 LE-7. LGA/HACA Penalties for Using TIF Problem: The LGA/HACA aid penalties have resulted in fewer, smaller, cheaper, and less challenging tax increment financing (TIF) districts being created. Although the use of TIF generally improves the state's tax base and economic vitality, cities are now penalized for trying to create jobs, redevelop decay, or clean up pollution. Sohttion: The aid penalty is punitive and should be eliminated. "But for" tax increment financing, development, redevelopment, pollution clean up, and housing creation would not have occurred and benefitted the state's economy. The state does not impose the penalty on qualified housing and hazardous substance subdistricts, and these penalties should be removed on all other districts. All economic development (manufacturing) districts should be exempt because they are necessary to attract new jobs to the state, and particularly to support the economic viability of smaller rural cities. Hazardous substance subdistricts and soils condition districts are needed across the state to clean up pollution to protect the state's environment and to create viable development opportunities within developed cities and should not be subject to any penalty. Renewal and renovation districts should also not be penalized because they offer the best opportunity for proactive efforts to prevent blight and redevelop decaying urban areas. The phased-in penalty on redevelopment districts restricts the ability of cities to address the problems of advanced urban decay and blighted neighborhoods~ TIF programs should be reauthorized for use on scattered- site housing redevelopment/rehabilitation. LE-8. Restrictions on Revenue to Pay LGA/HACA Penalties Problem: There are many restrictions on the sources of revenue available for cities to use to pay the LGA/HACA penalty that is imposed on most new TIF districts. Solution: If the LGA/HACA penalty is intended to reimburse the state for additional costs for the school aid program, state restrictions on the source of the "penalty" are not appropriate. There should be no limitations on the city's payment of the penalty; tax increments, developer participation, or other sources should be eligible. LE-9. Economic Recovery Grant Program Funding From 10 League of Minnesota Cities LGA/HACA Penalty Problem: The LGA/HACA aid penalty is preventing many valuable development and redevelopment efforts. Solution: If the state chooses to continue to impose a penalty for the use of TIF, these local funds should be contributed to the Economic Recovery Grant Program. These funds would then be available for cities across the state to retain businesses in the state and to pursue business looking to relocate from other states. LE-10. State Funding for Economic Recovery Grant Program Problem: The Economic Recovery Grant program is not adequately funded. The state does not authorize an adequate slate of tools for local governments to assist job creation, redevelop blight and decay, and provide adequate housing choices. Cities are not well equipped to compete nationally and internationally for business development. Solutions: Cities should be given authority for property tax abatements as another economic development tool. The precedent for abatements has already been established by the "this old house" program, the contamination tax, and the enterprise zone program. In addition, Minnesota counties support authorization for an abatement program. Information from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) should be used to determine the remediation needs across the state to provide immediate guidance for the distribution of Contamination Clean-Up Grants. The state should commit the resources necessary to address the pollution that has been identified and acknowledge that this program offers the best opportunity for clean up of non-Superfund sites. The Economic Recovery Grant Program should be given twice its current funding and establish clear rules to govern its use. The state and federal funds that fund this program should also be spread over the year to help ensure that projects across the state have access to the grants. The federal government should triple the current appropriation for the Community Development Block Grant Program, and should simplify the application process and reduce the paperwork burdens. Congress should remove the caps that have been placed on Industrial Development Bonds and acknowledge that the extensive eligibility requirements now adequately limit their use. LE-11. City Involvement with Telecommunications Providers Problem: Deregulation of telecommunications threatens to override local authority to govern public rights-of-way within cities for private development of the "information superhighway" through neighborhoods and over city streets. Solution: Cities should have the authority to require telecommunication providers to: obtain permits and follow local standards for the use of local rights-of-way and property to lay wire, cable, or other facilities to carry voice, video, or data signals to locations within city corporate boundaries; prohibit redlining and uphold nondiscrimination standards in the provision of telecommunications services at the local level; support community access to voice, video and information services offered at the local level; design of the local tele- communications infrastructure to meet community information needs, including community programming services; compensate cities for the use of public rights-of-way from any provider of telecommunication services, including telephone and power companies, as well as local cable operators. LE-12. Telecommunications as an Economic Development Opportunity Problem: Telecommunications providers may decide whether or not to serve the needs of cities regardless of size and location. This will restrict local economic development opportunities. Solutions: Local businesses, schools and educational institutions, and government offices should have access to information technology and services that meet technical standards for signal quality at reasonable rates; Cities should identi~, how information technology can strengthen local economic activity, education, workforce training, health care, etc.; Local units of government should work together to maximize effective use of information technology to assure that the local information infrastructure can respond to the variety of needs at the local level. LE-13. Local Permitting Authority for Tele- communications Problem: City franchising authority is viewed as a barrier to competition in the development of electronic information networks and telecommunications services. 12 League of Minnesota Cities Solution Current city franchising authority should be replaced in favor of local permitting authority: State and federal governments must develop and enforce minimum technical and connectivity standards and rate regulation in the absence of competition; The state should license telecommunications providers to ensure they have the financial, technical, and legal qualifications to provide proposed services; The state legislature should develop legislation to protect cities' interests in the management of local public rights-of-way and restructure and simplify the regulatory framework for telecommunications service providers in the state. LE-14. Adequate Funding for Transportation Problem: Current funding for roads and for transit systems across all government levels in the state is not adequate. Solution: Minnesota should value, and adequately fund, all transportation systems in the state. The state needs to provide an objective basis to determine the complete needs of the road and transit systems, their present condition, and their impact on the economic health of the state. This should include acknowledgement that delaying current expenditures will increase costs in the future. Cities support an increase in the gas tax and urge the legislature to institute additional revenue sources that can be dedicated to transportation programs. Cities should receive revenues necessary to meet present and future transportation needs. If funding does not come from the state, cities should have funding options available to them to raise the dollars necessary to adequately fund roads and transit. With the exception of funding for the state patrol, all nontransportation programs should be funded from a source other than the highway user distribution fund. The revenues of the highway user distribution fund are collected from transportation users and should be dedicated to transportation- related services. LE-15. Turnbacks of County and State Roads Problem: As road funding becomes increasingly inadequate, more roads are being "turned back" to cities from counties and the state. Solution: Turnbacks should not occur without direct funding or transfer of a funding source. A process of negotiation and mediation should govern the timing, funding, and condition of turned-back roads. City taxpayers should receive the same treatment as township taxpayers. The requirement for a public hearing, standards about the conditions of turnbacks, and temporary maintenance funding should also apply to county turnbacks to cities. At a minimum, proposed roads to be turned back to a lower government level should be brought up to the standards of the receiving government or should be compensated with a direct payment. Policies 13 Direct funding should be provided for smaller cities that are not provided with turnback financing through the municipal state aid system. LE-16. Cooperation Between Counties and Cities Over County Roads Within Cities Problem: Some counties want increased control over county roads that lie within city boundaries. Solution: A formal system of mediation should be implemented to help resolve technical and aesthetic decisions about county and county state-aid roads within cities. A negotiated system of review will offer both governments the opportunity to produce better road projects. Local city and county officials should use available opportunities for alternate dispute resolution of the issues. Universal arbitration by unaffected parties should not supersede local authority. LE-17. State Aid for Roads in Cities Under 5,000 Problem: Cities under 5,000 population do not receive any nonproperty tax funds for their collector and arterial streets. Solution: State statute should be modified to encourage cooperation and improved transportation systems by allowing contiguous cities that jointly represent a combined population of 5,000 or more to be eligible for Municipal State Aid (M.S.A.). Participating cities would enter into a formal joint powers agreement and establish a.joint budget that would be governed by a board of elected officials. Cities that participated in this joint entity would not be required to undertake any formal consolidation activities. Cities under 5,000 population that were not eligible for M.S.A. through this cooperative agreement practice should be able to use county municipal accounts and the five percent account of the highway user distribution fund. Uses of county municipal accounts should be statutorily modified so that counties can dedicate these funds for local arterials and collector streets within cities under 5,000 population. In addition, the five percent set-aside account in the highway user distribution fund should be used to meet this funding gap. LE-18. State Aid for Urban Road Systems Problem: Current rules governing municipal state aid expenditures are restricting the efficient use of these funds and do not adequately acknowledge the constraints of road systems in urban city environments. Solution: Rules affecting the municipal state aid system need to be changed to acknowledge the technical and practical restrictions on construction and reconstruction of urban road systems. New municipal state aid design standards should not apply to reconstruction of existing state aid streets that were originally constructed under different standards. Future changes to state aid rules should 14 League of Minnesota Cities improve the balance of elected officials and engineering professionals in the decision-making process. LE-19. Tax Policies to Encourage Housing Problem: State and federal tax policies have, in some instances, limited construction of housing that is affordable to persons with very low and moderate incomes. Solution: Tax policy should encourage production and increase the supply of affordable housing: remove the state sales tax on building materials for production of multi- family rental housing units for which the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency and/or local housing and redevelopment authorities have provided assistance; provide additional state funds to increase the supply of housing in locations where the local housing real estate market discourages construction of housing to meet local needs, including added funding for the state Affordable Rental Housing Investment Fund; support federal Fair Market Rents (FMRs) at a level sufficient to make affordable rental housing widely available. LE-20. State Programs to Encourage Housing Problem: State programs to increase the supply of affordable housing outside central cities are not well funded. Solution: To encourage builders to provide affordable housing outside central cities funding should be increased for: the Community Rehabilitation Fund to assist cities to design programs to meet the local need for affordable single and multi-family housing; the Homeownership Assistance Fund to provide for downpayments for low and moderate income families to purchase their own homes; technical assistance to cities to analyze local housing conditions and the need for incentives, set-asides or other methods to encourage development of housing to serve employers contemplating business expansion or construction of new facilities and increasing employment opportunities; credit enhancement assistance offered by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency; construction financing assistance to encourage local lenders to participate in family housing development. 15 IMPROVING FISCAL FUTURES FF-1. Local Government Aid future city HACA distributions. Problem: Despite the 1991 dedication of sales tax revenue to the Local Government Trust Fund, subsequent legislative actions substantially reduced the revenue available for increases in city property tax relief programs such as LGA and HACA. Although the LGA inflation index established by the 1994 legislature will ensure modest growth in the LGA appropriation, it will only maintain the program at a constant dollar level. This will not reverse the trend toward increased city reliance on the property tax and rapid property tax growth. Solution: The implicit price deflator index should continue to be used to maintain LGA at a constant, inflation- adjusted level. In addition, lawmakers should provide additional state resources for further increases in LGA to reverse the rapid growth in the reliance on the property tax. FF-2. HACA Growth Problem: Homestead and Agricultural Credit Aid for cities does not increase as the number of benefited properties increases. As a result, property tax relief for new parcels is actually provided by shifting taxes to other property owners. In addition, the property tax relief provided through HACA is not adjusted to keep pace with inflation. Solution: The household growth adjustment should be reinstated and an inflationary adjustment similar to the LGA index should be established for FF-3. Transfers of LGA/HACA to Schools Problem: Past shifts of city LGA and HACA to schools provided only imaginary relief from rapidly rising school property taxes. Any additional shift of city LGA and HACA will likely have a similar impact on future school property taxes. Also, new shifts will increase the tax rate disparities between cities and townships and irreparably damage the equalization benefit of LGA and HACA. Solution: Any increase in the state's share of school revenues should come from sources other than further transfers from city property tax relief programs. FF-4. Levy Limits Problem: In the past, levy limits have proven to be an ineffective and inefficient way to limit property tax growth. Control of property taxes through the local budget process and taxation hearings provides a more effective method of oversight. Solution: Levy limits should not be imposed on city property taxes. FF-5. Levies on Market Value Problem: Applying new referenda levies to market value, rather than tax capacity, shifts the burden of these property taxes to homestead properties. 16 League of Minnesota Cities Solution: All property taxes should be based on the tax capacity classification system. The statutes that require newly approved referenda levies to be applied to market values should be repealed. FF-6. LGA State Deductions from Problem: State administrative costs are deducted from the LGA appropriation. This reduces the property tax relief provided by LGA and creates hidden appropriations for state agencies. Solution: All appropriations that fund state operations from LGA resources should be repealed. FF-7. Payments for Services to Tax-Exempt Property Problem: Taxable property in many cities is being acquired by non-profit and government entities. Converting the property to tax exempt status can lead to a serious tax base erosion without any corresponding reduction in the service needs created by the property. Solution: Cities should be allowed to collect payments in-lieu of property taxes or special assessments from non- constitutionally exempt property owners. FF-8. Delinquent Property Tax Penalties Problem: Although city finances are affected by property tax delinquencies, cities do not receive any associated penalties and interest on these delinquencies. Penalties and interest are split evenly between counties and schools. Solution: Cities should receive their pro-rata share of all penalties and interest collected on delinquent property taxes. FF-9. Reporting Requirements Problem: Budget and financial reporting requirements imposed on cities by the state often result in duplication and additional costs. Solution: Additional requirements for reporting and advertising financial and budget information should be carefully weighed to balance the validity of the state's need for additional information with the costs and burdens of compiling and submitting this information. In addition, all state agencies should be aware of the information already required by others to avoid duplication of reporting requirements. FF-10. Truth-in-taxation Problem: The Legislature has mandated how property tax relief is calculated on tax statements. These calculations have no relationship to actual local receipts for Homestead and Agricultural Credit Aid. Solution: In the spirit of real truth-in- taxation, property tax statements should accurately reflect the actual amount of HACA benefiting each individual property owner. 1995 City Policies 17 4633 TAYLOR STREET VACANT LOT Michael Anthony Fusco 64 Stoke St. Lodi, N.J. 07644 Lot 23, Block 8, Sheffield's 2nd Sub. together with an easement for ingress and egress over & across the East 12 feet of Lot 22.

Columbia Heights, MN 55421-3878 (612) 782-2800 January 18, 1995 Dear Resident: Currently the street in front of, or adjacent to, your home }s 104. Typically, County roads were constructed to provit~ ~o~ie market or between cities within the county. In urban areas, county roads were generally more heavily traveled routes that needed more maintenance than cities could provide back when many city streets were not paved. The designation of County Road 104 was pan of the agreement between the City and Anoka County when Kordiak Park was created, and does not meet the criteria for a County Road. Because of this, the County's Comprehensive Transportation Plan recommends that County Road 104 be "turned back" to the City. We have been informed that the Anoka County Public Works Committee has recommended to the County Commissioners that CR 104 be turned back to the City and the County Commissioners will be considering this item at their regular meeting on January 24, 9:30 A.M., Anoka County Courthouse, 2100 3rd Avenue, in Anoka. What effect will this have on you as a homeowner along this route? As far as snow plowing and regular maintenance, there will be no change. The City has maintained this route for years under an agreement with the County. Recent changes in State law will allow those streets that are pan of CR 104 to be placed on the Municipal State Aid System. The costs for maintenance and replacement of streets on the Municipal State Aid System are reimbursed to the City by the State of Minnesota Department of Transportation. Under current City policy, you would not be assessed for repairs and/or replacement of these streets. If you have questions, please contact the Anoka County Highway Department at 754-3520 or myself at 782-2880. Sincerely/~? , M~k A. Winson, P.E.

MAW:jb 95-040 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS TO: FROM: DATE: RE: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PATRICK HENTGES, CITY MANAGER JANUARY 20, 1995 CITY MANAGER'S REPORT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 1995 1) SHARED RIDE REPORT Attached is the December Shared Ride Report. As the report reflects, ridership decreased significantly in 1994 over 1993. This is attributable to Fridley no longer being a part of the Shared Ride service area. Likewise, total expenses decreased significantly ($56,523.39 in 1994 compared to $170,104.33 in 1993). As a result, the unfunded local share for 1994 will be less than $500. 2. COMMUNICATIONS OF INTEREST NSP Increase: Attached is a letter indicating as of January, 1995, the City's electric accounts will increase by $.95 a month. League of Minnesota Cities Policies and Practices: Attached are the 1995 League Policies and Priorities. The Action Agenda was approved by the League's Board of Directors and will be the highest priority of 1995. 3. UPDATE ON CITY HALL The Building Inspections Department has relocated to the HRA offices as of January 19, 1995. The Public Works Department was instrumental in seeing that the move went smoothly. Carpeting Bid Specifications were sent to twenty-one companies and notice was published in the FOCUS. The bid opening will be February 7. Award of bid will be on the February 13th Council agenda. Staff is discussing the feasibility of the use of the Anoka County Board table for the Council Chambers. It appears it will be extremely labor intensive to disassemble and reassemble, as it was built in place. Alternatives are being explored, including building a table on site. City staff will be presenting a complete package of examples, options, alternatives, and a budget for the City Council Chambers improvements at the February 6th, 1995, work session. At that meeting, proposed layouts for the Council Chambers, examples of furniture, ceiling/acoustical alternatives, carpeting samples will be available for your review. 4. SHEFFIELD LOT PROPOSAL Michael Fusco has offered to sell a 40' x 125' lot in Sheffield to the City. Although the lot has a tax value of $17,400, Mr. Fusco is willing to dispose of the property for substantially less. I have reviewed the situation, and recommend that the City not pursue the purchase. 5. COUNTY ROAD 104 TURNBACK Attached please find a letter sent to affected residents on County Road 104. The letter advises them that the County will be considering turning back the property to the City on January 24, 1995, at 9:30 A.M. The basis for the County's decision is spelled out in statute, and the fact that the City can redesignate the road under Municipal State Aid provisions. 6. CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING Be advised that the Charter Commission was unable to meet on Thursday, January 19th, as a quorum of members failed to appear. I have requested that the Charter Commission secretary request that the Chairman schedule a new date for a meeting. It may be critical for the commission to meet again at some time in February to finalize the proposal on the election date changes. In essence, this ordinance must be in place in June. To do so, it will require an additional sixty day process on the part of the City Council in order for any Charter change to be effective. 7. CHARTER COMMISSION MEMBERSHIP It is my understanding that the Judicial District Chief Judge has appointed Keith Roberts and Theresia Synowczynski to the Charter Commission. It appears that the formal notifications and oaths of office are being forwarded to the individuals and to the Charter recording secretary for execution. The Charter Commission is currently reviewing the makeup of the commission, and the status of the various terms. The Charter Commission membership has dropped to nine members, but may have upwards to fifteen total. Also, new members can serve longer than eight consecutive years. 8. BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE Be advised that Mark Winson met with the Beautification Committee to discuss upcoming Public Works projects. Attached please find information from Mark concerning his meeting with the Beautification Committee. Additionally, I discussed with the Beautification Chairman, Michelle Murzyn, the possible liaison/coordination effort between City staff and Beautification Committee. Jean Kuehn, who is a Master Gardener, will serve as liaison to the group. Jean comes highly qualified to this job, as she is actually a "master gardener". The group is going to meet in early February to finalize their priorities for 1995 and will be submitting a budget and list of projects to the Council. 9. CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION As per the City Council's request, I met with the Civil Service Commission concerning their thoughts on the pros and cons of the Civil Service process and police organizational options. Commissioners Herringer and Moore will be preparing a written response to the City Council's inquiry within the next two weeks. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

To help pay for the new program the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) ordered NSP to eliminate a conservation rate-break for residential Iow use customers and to increase customer charges by $.95 a month for commercial and industrial customers. Please accept this letter as notification that beginning in January of 1995 all city commercial electric accounts will have the new $.95 charge applied.

I believe that the concise and brief format for these policies represents a significant step forward in communicating our problems and concerns with policy makers. I want to commend every city official for your involvement, assistance and interest in the League's new policy develoment process. With the help of many city officials, we were able to focus on the most pressing problems facing cities and to develop creative solutions to address those problems. At their monthly meeting in December, the League's Board of Directors approved the enclosed Action Agenda for the League. This list is almost identical to the agenda suggested by the membership at the Policy Adoption Conference. The exception is the addition of the personnel policy (SD-2). The Action Agenda policies will be the League's highest priority for the upcoming year. Where appropriate, the League staff will draft and have legislation introduced to further these efforts. The revised policy process initiated by the League's Legislative Advisory Committee was also a significant step forward. We had tremendous participation from city officials throughout the state. A chronology of the new policy development process is outlined on page vi of the booklet. If you are not currently a member of one of the League's policy committees or task forces, and you would like to get involved, please contact any of the Intergovernmental Relations staff or me. Don't be surprised if we ask you to contact your legislators on issues of importance. The success of the League is ultimately dependant on the involvement of our members, not only in the policy development process, but in our lobbying activities.
